Chapter 344

Mrs. Watson arrived just then and asked, “What's going on here?”Tommy was asleep, and if this went on, the baby would wake up.Even so, Stan put his finger on his lips and shushed her!

As Mrs. Watson quickly turned silent, he explained softly to her, “Don’tdisturb him.”

He knew why Isaac was seething, and that Isaac was just venting atthe moment.

After all, Henry had raised him, but tried to use that as leverage againsthim.

Though Isaac never did anything to Quincy because of Henry, how didhis grandfather repay him?

He was probably hurting because the one who hurt him was family.“Should we ask Mrs. Jefferson to come home?” Mrs. Watsons quietlyasked.

Stan agreed that it was a great idea, since Isaac needed company rightnow.

“Yeah, do it.”

However, no one answered when Mrs. Watson called Irene’s number,and she sighed, shaking her head. “I couldn't reach her.”

Stan sighed as well.

Meanwhile, Isaac stood with his hands clasped behind his back in hisstudy. What remained of a teacup lay beside his feet, its contents nowdrenching his toes.

His frame was towering yet lonely—light filled in but was just illuminatingjust half of him, keeping his expression inscrutable, and his thoughtsunfathomable.

Over at Melville Hospital, Irene was following Stephen into surgery.She had been very busy since she started to work at the hospital as hisstudent, and would assist him in every surgery he performed, inaddition to her own clinic duty.

He was basically letting her do all the menial tasks, affording her nofree time.

It was only three hours later when they stepped out of the operatingroom, but before Irene could catch her breath, Stephen sent her tocompile a patient's medical history.

“Put everything in a folder and leave it inside the center drawer of mydesk. Make sure no one sees it,” he told her.

“Okay,” Irene replied.

Later, as she carefully put everything together, she glanced at thepatient's photo and found it familiar.

She soon remembered-she saw her face back at Jefferson Manor inanother photo. It was kept in a photo frame beside a box, and whenshe knocked it over, Isaac's ensuing reaction was so violent themoment was etched clearly in her mind.

That photo was of Isaac's parents, and the patient's photo held a strongresemblance to Isaac's mother!

The resemblance was striking... Could she be a relative of Isaac'smother?

However, she was aware that Isaac's mother was an only daughter,and she also learned from Stan that Isaac's maternal grandparents hadalso passed away years ago.

That meant Isaac's maternal line was gone, and without any relativesalive in that family tree, this patient was probably not related to them.And doppelgangers are known to exist in this world anyway...Nonetheless, Stephen entered the room, and frowned when he sawthat Irene had yet to put the folder in his drawer.

“What are you doing? Aren't you done yet?"

Irene promptly shelved those thoughts and put the folder in the drawer,before walking up to Stephen and asking. “Why aren't you keeping herfile with the other patients'?”

“She's my wife's friend,” Stephen flatly replied. “Special privilege.”“Oh.”

Stephen then told her, “We have a new patient. He has a congenitalheart defect-take him to imaging.”

“Okay.”

As she did, she passed by the ultrasound room and saw the “journalist’she noticed before.

Chad Ross was lending her an arm, grinning ear—to—ear but beingcareful nonetheless. “Are you alright, darling?”

The journalist’ nodded.

Irene had thought that the “journalist’ resembled Whitney before... Andit turned out that she was Chad's wife too? Was that why he marriedher?

Honestly, Chad was so hopeless...
